"PUT OUT THE FIRE."
This is the Language OfPrO-
hibifiOn.

Prohibition aims at a thing, not
a man. 1t would smite a traffic,
not a personal indulgence; annihi-
late grog-shops, not invade homes.
See how this works in other mat
tiers. A mob is bad thing. Pro-
hibition says, "Repress it," But
to repress it, it may be necessary
to seize private property and de-
stroy life; nevertheless, the mob is
what prohibition is after, not the
life and property. A confagration
is bad thing. Prohibition says,
stop it." But to stop it may re-
quire seizure and destruction OF
property in the path of the fire ;
nevertheless the fire is what prohi-
bltion is after, not the property.
A contagious disease is a bad thing.
Prohibition says, "Fence it in; the
house must be quarantined." But
that's an interference with personal
liberty. So the saloon is bad
thing. Prohibition says, "Abolish
It," But to abolish it, it may be
necessary to interfere with some
private drinking usage; neverthe-
less the saloon is what prohibition
is after, not the private usage.
Can interference with personal
liberty be pleaded as against the
suppression of the mob? No Can
the plea of individual right OF
property bar the effect to stamp out
a confagration? No. Can the
right to 60 in and out of our houses
at pleasure be urged as against the
restraints of quarantine? No.
Neither can private drinking
usage constitute good reason for
opposing prohibitory liquor law.
II the law smites the usage in
shifting the saloon, it does so only
incidentally. Good citizenship
Will willingly bear an incidental
evil for the sake of an essential and
universal good. Life in the end,
Will be more sacred if we repress
the mob. Property in the end will
nave better securities if we put out
tne lire. Personal liberty, in the
END will have complete safeguards
Il Il we stamp out the contagion.
Every interest of society and Of the
lndlvldual, in the end, will be bet,
Ter shielded if once we say, determ-
lnedly and effectually, "The saloon

How Can We Make our Regular
Meetings Interestingly

For the benefit of those Unions
that may need the suggestions we
give Mrs. Buell's receipt for max
ing the meetings of the local Union
interesting.
1. BY being prompt.
2. BY being strictly parliament
tary.
3. By taking places of RESPONSE
bility and doing the. work assigned
and giving written report OF
work done, at least once q month.
The program of the regular meet
ing should be so arranged that one
or more Superintendent should
give written report at each and
all at least once a month or once a
quarter, according to the frequency
of the regular meetings of the
Union.
4. By using the Monthly Read
ings."
5. At least once quarter (bet-
ter once a month) selecting some
lady to prepare a paper on some
subject, viz: "The relation of in
temperance to pauperism." Any
lady studying THE subject in her
own town, no matter how small
that town, would be able to present
most interesting and important
facts. Other subjects will suggest
themselves. These papers should
be short and followed by discussion,
ladies having been appointed the
week previous.
The scientific side could be treat
ed in the same way.
6, Local Benevolences should
form a part of the program of each
meeting, and the question asked,
Who or what family or individuals
need our assistance? What can we
do for the mothers in the homes Of
the poor2 Arrange to give them
a Tea table-talk." Are their chill
dren in the Loyal Legion? II not,
why not?
7. Is the gospel preached to the
poor in the almshouse If not, ar
range meeting-a Gospel temper
ance meeting.

And now comes q rtport from
Iowa, that the Penitentiary an.
thorities at Fort Edward, are EN-.
barrassed because owing to the eff.
fects of the Prohibition law, there
are not convicts enough in the
Penitentiary to fill the contracts
they had previously gone into, to
supply outside parties with con-
vict labor. This is possibly pointer
to one way out of a difficulty that
has been for some time exercising
our West Virginia State authori.
ties,-how to dispose of our peni.
Tertiary convicts, so as to make
the concern as near az may be self
sustaining and at the same time
not have their labor come in con-
tiict with honest men outside the
walls, According to the best
prison authorities, the very large
proportion of the convicts owe
their places there to their indul.
gence in intoxicating liquors.
What more reasonable than the in.
ference that if the liquor supply is
shut of, the supply of convicts
will tall off in like proportion, and
the problem of how to dispose of
the penitentiary population solves
itself. There win not be enough
of it to make their support great
burden to the State, or their labor
a matter worth legislating about.

"CIear The Way"

The text and authorship Of the
oem, "Clear the Way" having
eep called for, number of cores
,ondents reply, enclosing the poem
rhich is by Charles Mackay. The
erses are as follows:
Men of thought! be up and stirring,
Night and day:
Sow the seed-withdraw the curtain
Clear the way!
Men of action, aid and cheer them,
we may!
There's fount about to stream,
There's light about to beam,
There's a warmth about to glow,
There's a flower about to blow;
There's midnight blackness changing
Into gray;
Men of thought and men OF action,
Clear the way!
Once the welcome light has broken,
Who shall say,
What the unimagined glories
OF the day?
What the evil that shall perish
In its ray?
Aid the dawning, tongue and pen;
Aid it, hopes of honest men;
Aid 1t, paper-aid it, type
Aid it, for the hour is ripe,
And our earnest must not slacken
Into play.
Men of thought and men OF action,
Clear the way!
Lo! a clouds about to vanish
From the day;
And brazen wrong to crumble
Into clay:
Lo the rights about to conquer,
Clear the way!
With the Right shall many more
Enter smiling at the door;
With the giant Wrong shall fall
Many others, great and small,
That for ages long have held us
For their prey.
Men OF thought and men of action,
Clear the way!

shape and disposition. Mr.. Neeley, his pur-
chaser. is a wealthy dry goods dealer, and

other to mate him. If he does he will have
clipper team. one that will stay behind few

A local sportsman shot fox one day last

HOW LINGG KILLED HIMSELF.
He Certainly Used Bomb-Theories of
of the Authorities Concerning the
Manner of His Obtaining it.

CHICAGO, Nov. IA.
1t is settled that Louis Lingg killed him
self with a dynamite bomb and not fulmi-
mating cap as at first supposed. The cell
was given a thorough oyerhauling today for
the first time since the suicide, and shattered
pieces of pipe found, showing conelusiyely
that Lingg had exploded dynamite bomb in
his mouth and not Illuminating cap. One
of the pieces was over an inch long and ap-
parently torn longitndiallv from larger
piace by the explosion.
The remnant is in the possession of Sheriff
Matson, and the condition of the walls in
Lingg's cell bear out the theory of the bomb.
Large pieces of solid masonry was broken
of by the force of the missiles of which the
bomb was made. How the bombs got into
his possession is mystery. Suspicion was
al first directed to one of the deputies on
guard but is now no longer thought of. 1t
is generally believed that Lingg had the
bomb at the time the others were found and
had il secreted in his hair, a thing he could
very easily do, as his hair was over six inch
es long and very thick. In the opinion of
the jail officials that all the bombs were
passed through the iron casing by friends out
side. although Lingg RFy have filled them
himself in his cell. In cleaning the cell
copy of Herr Most's design for the Haymar-
ket monument was found.

PORTLAND BLACKLEGS.
The Crooked Transactions of a Noted
Gambler.

PORTLAND, Nov. "A.
Last Friday night City Marshal Hawkes.
and Deputy Marshal Crowell raded a noto-
rous gambling resort on PrebIc street and
captured the entire lay ont. 1t is said that a
few days before the raid, somew hat sensa-
tional scene. in which the boss gambler of
Portland played leading part, occurred
there. Several parties came in from out of
town, and the play of the evening was higher
than had been known here for a long time.
The boss" with his usual nerve and audac-
ity, played the game for all it was worth, and
at last $50 was on the table. At this stage
of the game the boss" became conyinced
that an attempt was being made by the other
PLAYERS to ''pnt up job on him. As quick
as a flash he caught up the money from the
table. drew revolver from his pocket and
invited any one of the crowd who wanted TO
dispute with him the right of possession, to
"comr and take the pile The curses evoked
by this high handed proceeding were loud and
deel->aud for Il time there was every pros
pcct for lively fight but the bearing of the
reckless gambler standing with his revolver
in hand was such that none cared to dispute
with him, especially as none happened to be
armed The boss backed to the door of the
room keeping the crowd covered with his re-
yolyer and made good his retreat with the
Doodle This bold operation became noised
about. and probably had something to do
with the raid by the police although other
causes operated to bring about the latter
er more smiling and perhaps trlte more Sc
we're than usual in his manner since this sue
cess in bulldozing his brother gamblers.
